As a resident taxpayer in Belfast I will vote for Stephen J. Hemenway, a retired deputy sheriff, who will spend our tax dollars on proven policies with all his constituents in mind. Our current representative voted to remove the property tax stabilization program for seniors and also homestead exemption increases.
Then she voted to make Maine a sanctuary state for what I believe are dangerous sex altering procedures, abortion and more. She also voted for unproven solar and wind energy projects. And she voted to essentially give Maine’s four electoral votes to states with larger populations even though Maine voters may have made a very different choice. Enough already!
